Dog coats?

Should I just run him without the coat? Will the difference in temperatures make him sick?

I am looking for the maker of waterproof dog coats that I saw at Geelong market about 2 years ago. Need 1 more

Are leather dog collars better than nylon?

Mendota Leather Dog collars and water?

Where to get undyed leather dog collar?

Hi! I’m looking for a natural leather collar for my dog. The collar she has now is pink dyed leather and I notice that the dye gets on her fur when the collar gets wet, which I think is irritating her skin. I prefer a leather buckle collar because she has had a nylon adjustable collar and it gets too loose if she pulls on the leash. So if anyone has any suggestions for where I can find an untreated leather collar (also free of tanning chemicals, etc.) I would appreciate it!

Thanks!

My dog has been diagnosed with an enlarged heart?

Sissy is a cocker spanial/beagle mix. She is 10 years old. For almost 2 weeks she started coughing (not everyday), and lost some appetite. Took her to the vet and they did a chest x-ray. She has an enlarged heart and it’s starting to push up on trac., but no heart murmur, which surprised the vet, also he feels I brought in early enough. She is now on 2 meds and I have an appointment for her to do an ultrasound on wednesday. Enalapril and Salix (he feels using Salix will prevent any fluid from starting, he said no fluid showed up). He said this will slow her heart down and not have it work so hard, which will make the heart shrink down some, but it will never shrink down to the normal size it should be. Her kidneys are good as well.

Sissy’s appetite is good again, she’s eating like before. My whole problem is, I don’t know how to take this emotionally. It hit me hard last night after the day settled down. Anymore info will be greatly appreciated.

Enlarged heart and fluid in the lungs?

Over the holidays, my collie (age 10-12 possibly) began having some problems breathing. She is still eating great, as active as a senior dog with arthritis can be and is still going to the bathroom fine. I took her to the vets where they ran several blood tests and took x-rays of her lungs and heart. Her liver and kidneys are working well and her heartbeat was steady and strong, but the x-rays showed some fluid in her lungs and a slightly rounded (enlarged) heart. They gave her Lasix to reduce the fluid retention and sent the x-rays to Ohio State veterinary hospital. The Lasix is working, but after not taking it for a few days has labored breathing again. While I am still waiting on the results, I was wondering besides heart disease, could anything else cause this? Also, she is now on an all natural, corn and wheat free diet as well as eating plain, unsweetened yogurt with flax seed oil and a good probiotic but is their anything else I could give her to help make her stronger.

Does anyone really know if dogs know when they are dying, people talk of a sixth sense animals have?

I had to put my beloved dog to sleep 3 days ago due to him having an enlarged and twisted intestine, his kidneys were also in bad shape and he suffered a lot of neurological distress (severe epilepticus). He was quite sick and had complete loss of apetite for his last two days before i had to make the gut wrenching decision to say goodbye, i am left wondering whether during these last 2 days he was aware of the fact that he was dying? And also do dogs go away to die?? He also had very strange behaviour his last 2 days of getting as far away from his familiar surroundings as our fence would permit, if anyone has any answers it would be greatly appreciated

i recently had to euthinize my pitull, do you know any pitbull lovers who i can talk to for emotional support?

when i met my boyfriend 12yrs. ago he had 2 pitbulls, Sheba (mother) and Garth (Sheba’s son). these dogs were Rudy’s (my bf) life and after time became my life as well. a couple of yrs. ago we had to put Sheba down and the pain that we felt in our hearts was unbearable. she had bloat and bloat is fatal. since then we have done everything and anything to make Garth happy and content. he had never been apart from his mom (never) and he clearly missed her cause every day he looked for her. May 26, 2007 Rudy and i were facing the decision of euthinization yet again and had only minutes to decide. Garth had an enlarged heart and his kidneys were failing. we decided not to let him suffer. although Rudy and i do share the same grief and pain it is to hard and sad for us to talk to eachother about our loss. do you know someone who can help me understand and deal with the pain i feel in my heart. our dogs were our children and we miss them so very much.

Did we do the right thing in putting our dog to sleep?

He was 14 years old, a poodle. He was overweight, had severely high glucose levels, enlarged liver, enlarged kidney.He was dehydrated, he could hardly lift his head. He was my elderly parents dog. I’m thinking that if I had taken him to an emergency pet hospital they could have saved him. The vet was surprised that he wasn’t in a coma. Did I make the right decision? I feel so awful about it.
He also had arthritis and cataracts.
Every answer so far from each of you has been extremely helpful. It’s been 2 days now and I realize that I was called at the last minute to take him to the vet; we had to rush and find a vet that was even still open; I was not mentally or emotionally prepared and did not feel well. I’d never taken a seriously sick animal to the vet before.
What I’ve learned is that a person has to go about this slowly with much knowledge and get many opinions before ever considering letting an animal be put to death. When they’re gone, they are gone.
Nothing will stop the knowledge in my own heart that I have killed love when I was part of that decision. All the comforting words cannot stop that truth.

No improvement in urinary tract infection male beagle 11yo?

I have an 11-year-old male beagle who is being treated for a urinary tract infection. The vet said his urinary test did not look like an infection and did an ultrasound for kidney stones and cancer, but found nothing other than an enlarged prostate. He put the dog on two antibiotics (one before the ultrasound and a second added afterward) and assumed that since he found nothing else, it must be an infection. He’s been on both medications for a week+.

Lately I haven’t seen any blood in his urine, a very good thing – but I could simply be missing it. He still groans when he pees and has to stop and start multiple times. It still comes in little spurts, which seems to put it at a weird angle because he’s been getting it all over his legs and belly.

He’ll finish both medications early next week, but doesn’t seem to be better. He’s shaky during the day and doesn’t play or chew his bones anymore. He’s still straining to pee and having pain. I know he’s not done with the meds, but I thought symptoms were supposed to improve about halfway through a course of antibiotics (at least in people, and why should dogs be different)? I’m concerned that he’ll finish the meds and still be sick. Look at my previous questions if you want a comprehensive list of his symptoms. I’m afraid this means it really isn’t an infection, and that’s why the vet didn’t see it in the test. What can this mean? What should I do to make him feel better, and what can I do to make him get well faster if this is an infection?
Hm, he is a bit chubby (not much, but a little). But would kidney problems cause painful urination and straining? I can see that it might produce the blood and stuff, but….

I’ll look up the symptoms and see if my dog exhibits any. Thanks so much for the heads up.

My Dog’s Poison or Not, I’ve Got To Fine Out?

In Dec, 2005 my 10 yr old Rott passed & in April, 2006 my 10 yr old Lab had to be put down. They both displayed the same symptoms it took about 7 to 10 days. Both started to swell up, legs included.They slowly stopped eating, dark blood in the stool & runny in the last couple days both started going down in the hind-end and would howl tryin to get up after sitting. They both began acting lethorgic and very much in pain. Unable to pay a vet at that time a drug Co Metacam paid for an autopsy on my Rott but do to the time frame 30 days after the resultes were not clear but modules were noted on her liver and the right kidney was enlarged. My Lab I got to the vet, a light brown fluid was pulled off from around his chest he continuned to decline and I had him put down. My vet wrote a statement for the Police stating (toxins could not be ruled out) due to the time frame and not knowing what toxin to test for no toxology was done. I’ve got to fine out, Please any HELP or answers. TY Naosbbo

My yorkie terrier fell off the bathroom sink.She had a seizure.What kind of seizure was it?

My Yorkie is getting over the pet food recall poisoning. She used to eat Old Roy and it almost killed her. Making her kidney and liver almost fail. She’s better now with medication but suffers the damage it caused. Her kidneys,liver and heart are enlarged from this. Last night she slipped in the sink and fell off to the floor. I scooped her up but she started seizing within 20 seconds. Foaming at the mouth. I held her and it made her stop shaking. It was over in about 4 minutes. The foam stopped. A month ago she seized where her whole body went ridged but no foam. Then again 3 days ago. This seizure was different.What causes a dog to foam at the mouth when having a seizure?

Is there a home treatment of natural antibiotics for dogs for kennel cough?

I just got a puppy from the pound and he had kennel cough, I took him back and they said that there is no treatment for this. They did give him antibiotics for a possible secondary infection but kennel cough has to run its course much like a humas virus has to. They did say I can use Robitussin DM for the coughing symptoms. The puppy is fine but now my older dog has it, the vet said we have to let it run its course but she looks so miserable. I am giving her robitussin but I want to give her a boost of natural antibiotics that are safve for dogs. I did get some drops from the health food store but they do not have any antibiotic properties.

HELP! Thanks
